Carlsberg Elephant

Brewed by Carlsberg Brewery
Style: European Strong Lager
Copenhagen, Denmark

Has kind of a hefeweizen appearance to it even though I think it’s offically classified as a malt liquor. It smells worse than it tastes.

Perhaps they ought to sell this in nips, because I was pretty happy with the first half of the bottle, and not so much with the second. Pours a clear golden color with lots of bubbles. Aroma is of skunk, hay, and some odd sweat, This is like some sort of pilsner malt liquor clone. Tastes very crisp and very straight forward, that is to say nothing particularly exciting. There are the classic grainy flavors of the good European lagers and it’s well balanced but the bitterness is weird at first it’s very nicely hoppy but then the bitterness just lends it’s self to a burnt rubber chemical character that is not so great. There is a mild alcohol in the flavor and the texture is a little watery.

Acheté par PJ en voyage sur les îles vierges et partagé à son domicile. Apparence orange cuivré avec ne belle effervescence, belle mousse tenace et particule restant sur le verre. Arômes de prunes faible, houblon, malt de pomme avec un trait de citron. Bien caramellisé, houblonné et poivré. Équilibre, crémeuse et sec... Belle découverte. Merci!

Gold pour with strong malty aroma and light skunky taste. Better taste than most lagers, and some bonus for alcohol content, but otherwise nothing special.

Bottle (in NZ). A dark gold with a fizzy head. Strong malty aroma, but with a chemical hardness. Drinks OK - a lot of that maltiness on the palate, though I didn’t find it too sweet, and a earthy bitterness.

bottle. pours a straw yellow with little head. has a yeasty aroma and maybe a bit of honey. has kind of a dry, plain flavor. bit of a honey aftertaste but overall not that impressive.

not that bad for cheap beer, picked up a 4 pack of cans of this for 3 dollars at big lots, anyways the flavor was a bit acidic but good, not great but good

Blikje van 0,5 liter. Ik dacht dat deze nogal goed gewaardeerd werd. Nu blijkt dat ik hem nog beter vind dan de rest. Ik vind hem niet veel zeggend.
